The comedic characters of Sad Fish are uplifting, but they also disguise a grim aspect of existence. Sad Fish is more than Carolyn Belefski’s artwork, it’s a credence, a mindset, an anthem. If you woke up breathing, then you have more life to live. Sad Fish is about enjoying your time and the struggles, melancholy, and hope that comes with staying alive.

Carolyn drew 100 Sad Fish to participate in the Make 100 challenge. All 100 Sad Fish are published in this 5.5” x 7.75” full-color book. Only 100 signed and numbered books are available. Some of the fish in the challenge are included in this 4x6” sticker sheet.
